Chapter 410: 382, referendums in sixteen cities of Modova, willing to pledge allegiance to Miss Annie Brittany
As a transmigrator, Charles wasn’t constrained by the strictures of the nobility in this world; he did something very bold. First, he sent the family of Baron Sigma to Cappadocia City overnight and declared that he would give the Baron’s land and possessions to every resident of Sigma Castle, while also announcing that he would never levy taxes!
His proclamation didn’t generate much enthusiasm, as many harbored doubts, but it still moved a group of people and earned him the support of a small portion of the local residents.
Afterward, Charles conscripted soldiers on the spot in the Baron’s castle, assembling a force of six hundred men, and set out again before dawn to attack the next city.
Princess Akso, Anne, and Mama Karen, along with the Augusladin High Priest, woke up the next day and still saw no Modovan officials to receive them, nor did they see Charles return. They waited patiently all day, in accordance with protocol.
They were a foreign diplomatic delegation and, in principle, should not move about freely without local officials to receive them.
And yet, for the entire day, they saw neither the officials who were supposed to greet them nor Charles, who should have returned by then.
...
Anne grew restless. She had wanted to go out and
During the battle against the Modovan Royal Guard, Charles spread a rumor that the Grand Duke of Modova intended to surrender.
Charles initially hoped to dampen the Royal Family’s fighting spirit, but as an accustomed “novelist”, his descriptions were too vivid, leading the Baron snipers, who were lurking in Modova, to believe it without a doubt. To prevent Modova from falling to Fars, they resolutely took action and assassinated the Duke of Modova.
Charles had no idea what these Baron vampires were thinking. Were they even using their brains?
After all, when the news reached the frontlines, the Royal Guards of Modova, who had been fighting bloodily alongside Charles, turned on the battlefield. The captain of the guards, who had not even won a duel against Charles, had only one demand when he surrendered: he must personally execute the Baron assassin.
Charles swallowed up the Modova Royal Guard without shedding a drop of blood and stormed into the capital of Modova, Liguilia, declaring the principality had changed its allegiance and was now loyal to Miss Annie Brittany!
Princess Akso received the news of Duke Akso’s tragic assassination on the same night that Modova announced its loyalty to Annie.
The princess hesitated for a long time before finally representing the Fars Empire in recognizing Annie’s rule over Modova!
Learning of the princess’s decision, Miss Brittany’s first reaction was, “I need to find my dad, or at least my brother!”
“This matter…”
“has gotten out of hand!”
Charles, by then exhilarated, had already split his forces to attack the other five Modovan noble lands.
On the Earth he had transmigrated from, there was no such thing as unclaimed land left; even in web novels, to play out grand tales of unmatched dominance, one could only find small opportunities in the crevices of history to establish new nations—like investing in the British Royal Family before World War I to be granted Australia, landing in America and starting from Chinatown, or becoming a military overlord in Mexico…
In short, the modern Earth offered little room for armchair military strategists to exercise their imaginations.
The Modova military was so weak, the opportunity so advantageous, and the Duke of Modova had been killed in cold blood by a Baron sniper…
The people of Modova no longer cared that it was actually Charles who had inexplicably attacked them; all they remembered was the people of Baron murdering their duke, shouting for revenge against Baron.
This kind of public sentiment saved Charles a lot of effort, with four of the Modovan noble lands swearing allegiance to Miss Annie Brittany under the pressure of encroaching armies!
The other resistant noble was thrown down from his supposedly impregnable castle walls by Old Goat, dying on impact.
On the eighteenth day of waging war, Charles announced he had “unified” the entire territory of Modova.
This war, begun on a whim, came to be known by posterity as the Eighteen-Day War!
Many historians wracked their brains trying to understand why Charles Meklen had suddenly attacked the Modova Principality? Although subsequent events proved the significance of this sudden assault and how it became a turning point in the war between two major military blocs, no one could fathom Charles’s motive for initiating the war.
At least a dozen historians ended up writing in their research documents: Hmm, this is so Charles Meklen!
